CDG

CDG stands for Crappy Day Gift.  It was an idea passed on to a facebook group I am in.  Basically what you do is buy 10-15 gifts for a person, and whenever they are having a crappy day, they open a gift.  You write a little message on the gift, like, "to sweeten your day" and then you put in a candy bar or something.  Who doesn't love opening a gift??  It is also super fun to shop for the gifts for your person :-) 

Here is the box I put together:

 Here is the box I received- YAY donut wrapping paper!!!

COMO TOWN

Just another Saturday...

DILLY AT THE PARK

 Dilly bar sure loves the park!  He has been conquering stuff way ahead of Juliette's pace...this kid is ALL boy!

TBT

 8 months preggo with Dylan...head got cut off, so apparently I took a selfie.  This was one of my only belly shots with Dylan.  #2ndkid

DENTIST, BIKE RIDE, BENCH VISIT...BUSY LITTLE WEDNESDAY

It's been a while (oops, mom), but the kids did a fantastic job at the dentist today!

TRYING without training wheels....TRYING.... :-)

sitting on the bench commemorating my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary in Como :-)

FAMILY GOLF

It was a gorgeous night so we decided to take the kids up to the range!  They were so adorable...even when Dylan walked right into Juliette's backswing :-)  I hope they stay interested as they get older...

COMO DOCKSIDE, TAKE 1

I went to Happy Hour with my gradeschool friends tonight....we were excited to try the new Como Dockside (who just did a soft opening on Friday).  Our happy hour ended quickly as a water main broke and the place started to FLOOD!  Felt bad for them...we'll give them another try though!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

My Mothers Day gift is 24 hours to myself.  I sleep over at my parents and get to wake up with no kids, enjoy a hot cup of coffee, and then get joined by my fam for brunch.  It's pretty great.  The weather was awesome, so I was able to go on a few walks around the lake! It's good to be a mom :-)

my kiddos...and their personalities!

BACK TO 2003...

Panoramic Blue, the band I loved in my 20's and who played at our wedding, played a reunion show...it was SO MUCH fun to go watch them and dance a little to all the songs I used to hear a few times a month.  Also brought back memories of going to the bar with my parents, as Joey got sick and couldn't come :-(

Before the show I had an hour to kill since Joey was sick....so I went to WA Frost and sat at the ptio bar myself and enjoyed some wine and a cheese plate.  Awesome!

GETTING DRESSED

This is how Dylan spent his morning...apparently picking out clothes is tough...

TOOTH #2

 Juliette lost another one!  Tooth number 2 is officially out!  

It has been loose for a while and at swimming gramma pulled it out!

The tooth fairy brought her a $2 bill and some bubble gum (which she had been talking about earlier in the day- WHAT a coincidence!

LIBRARY FUN

THEY WIN

One of those days...kids were driving me nuts, so we ended up eating dinner in the car.  I literally made sandwiches inside and brought plates out to the car.  At least they were strapped in...

MONDAY FUNNIES PART 2

omg, i laugh at this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

COMO TOWN 2015.... WE ARE READY!

Get ready Como Town...we'll be seeing you A LOT!!

DILLY IN ACTION

Let's give Dilly Bar a little more face time on here...

First, he spilled about a quarter size drop worth of water...so to clean it up, he covered it with a towel.  Then he made a rainbow with the towels.

Then he found my pants and put them on and said, "I'm mommy!"

He's been CRAZY lately, but he is also pretty darn cute!

MORNING SILLIES

This is what Joey misses (?) every morning...

SOON ENOUGH...

Nothing is worse than cliches when you're down...so pretty much anything anyone says about selling our house sucks right now.  But I guess "someday" we will be here...blablabla

 

SUNNY DAY

Is there anything more innocent than a kid skipping in the summer?

Mamma Juliette day included a much needed pedicure :-)  Juliette doesn't want the water yet, but does like getting a design!  She also had fun picking out the colors!

loves the massage chair!

SPLATTER SISTERS

Tuesday night was Preschool Family night at Juliette's school.  The Splatter Sisters performed and it was pretty cute.  They told the kids to go get their dads and Juliette was SO EXCITED to get Joey...he almost didn't go, but he is lucky he did!  I am PUMPED to get both kids there and have ONE pick up and drop off!!

daddy dancing!

This picture was actually taken by the professional guy there and turned out pretty cute...what you don't see is two second later when she was rocking/throwing him from side to side and had to take a little break :-)
